ivoatex Version 1.0 =================== This is another attempt at a generalised authoring system for IVOA (http://www.ivoa.net) documents with the design goals of * version-controlled (or at least controllable) source file(s) * reasonable-quality PDF and HTML output * low to moderate installation effort (on POSIX systems with LaTeX) * support with routine drudgery. Documentation ============= Documentation on ivoatex, including a chapter on a quick start, is given in the IVOA note "The IVOATeX Document Preparation System", available at http://ivoa.net/documents/Notes/IVOATex/index.html. If you have the dependencies together (essentially, a GNU build toolchain, a texlive-equivalent TeX distribution, subversion, and xsltproc; on the average linux machines, chances are you're almost there), you can build this note (which is written in IVOATeX itself) like this:: svn co https://volute.g-vo.org/svn/trunk/projects/ivoapub/ivoatexDoc cd ivoatexDoc make biblio make Then start your favourite PDF viewer on ivoatexDoc.pdf. Trouble? ======== In case of ivoatex-related issues, contact gavo@ari.uni-heidelberg.de. Acknowledgements ================ The immediate predecessor of this is the document generation system created by Mark Taylor for SAMP and VOTable; essentially, this is a generalisation of Mark's work. This, in turn, built on work done by Sebastien Derriere. Another inspiration was Paul Harrison's ivoadoc system; in particular, parts of the XSL style sheet were taken from there, as well as the idea of using svn:externals. The document generation from XML schema files was adapted from XSLT stylesheets written by Ray Plante.
